Aloha Mangaba
wonder ful!, glad to play the ID game, please update us on the flavor when you try it. How does the C rufa taste?
if you have extra seed of any of the Couepia sp for sale please pm me!
I've been drooling over the fruit pictures of this species for a few years. Very hard to find seeds.
Just might have to go to Brazil one day to taste all these rare food plants.
Here is our Mangaba plant...growing very easily here...is it really a Mangaba? I hope so..
Guanabanus: I think it is not Endopleura uchi because the leaves are a lot different as well as the form of fruit.
Micah: Your guess of Couepia bracteosa hit the jackpot !!!. Today I received an email from Helton José confirming the id.
Helton recommended me to wait untill it ripens and falls to taste it. Excited to compare the taste of this with that of Couepia rufa
I have and is fruiting these days. Thanks to all who tried to help me.
